It will be easier if you just use archinstall.
Managing of updates will be easy if you use yay and pamac.
Not to forget the chaotic repo…

Yeah, I know I coulda used arch install, but I wanted to see how things worked so I did it the hard way. It’s half the fun after all 
And yeah, I got yay installed for AURs. Haven’t heard of pamac tho. Looks cool!

Unfortunately I uninstalled Arch due to constant flickering, crashing, and freezing that I really have no paitience left to deal with it

Nice UI.
However, I prefer rolling release over constant upgrade

Perhaps you should try the LTS kernel

NGL looks kinda cool!
Yeah, that was half the pain I had when installing arch - getting everything to work smoothly. I ended up switching from wayland back to xorg for the display manager because wayland isn’t quite there yet, especially for nvidia drivers.

Wow, that’s nice!
Considering the screen size on my UbuntuBook, I usually connect it to my TV. Bigger, helps my head, and my code.
How often do Linux users get updates? For me, LivePatch takes care of most of it, but it’s brief.

It depends on the distribution; Arch Linux is a rolling-release distribution, thus will have the most updates in a day, while distributions such as Ubuntu and Debian don’t have as many updates in a day, though Debian has an unstable branch as well.

I use the known-latest LTS version of Ubuntu, with ESM enabled. Usually, in 2-week bursts, LivePatch pushes updates to my system (unless I’m using Firefox, then it waits. Note, I only have 16GB of storage, 2GB after everything I need is installed, 0.5GB when on a web browser) In ~4-week bursts, unless otherwise, I get package updates.
Whenever I get package updates, I use the terminal to update them. The GUI updater requires more storage then required, usually 1GB more. Got to consider, Acer c720 Chromebook, EOL since 2019 (I believe), still good for… everything with Linux!
Question for everyone here: Anyone a fan of using a terminal? Doesn’t have to be a Linux one, I know Windows has Command Prompt and Mac has… a terminal.
I’m not afraid to use the terminal, but it’s only if it’s faster and more convenient than a GUI.

You are lucky that you solved it by switching to Xorg, because it didn’t work for me 
Disabling the graphics card somehow works, but that’s too painful and the crash issue is still there.
I suspect this may have something to do with the zram I configured back then, but since I’ve already uninstalled it, it’s hard to tell.
Well, one of the reasons I decided to use Arch is because it have non-LTS kernels unlike Debian!
You can probably count me in

Woah. It’s been a long time. It looks like Infinityfree is getting better in terms of community support. I am glad to see the forum is still up nowadays.

Welcome back to the forum, @JavesPotato! You might have forgotten about me, but if you look at this topic closely, you’ll see who I was in the past and still am now! I probably changed my frequency replying to topics, but it’s still the same old me.
